Ingredients

• 300 grams white chocolate
• 250 grams unsalted butter
• 250 milliliters whole milk
• 200 grams caster sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 300 grams all-purpose flour
• 80 grams self-raising flour
• 3 large eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and grease a 20cm (8-inch) round cake pan. Line the base and sides with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the white chocolate, unsalted butter, milk, and caster sugar. Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Once the mixture has cooled slightly, stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Sift the all-purpose flour and self-raising flour into a large bowl. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until combined and smooth.

Step 5

Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then add them to the cake batter. Mix until fully incorporated, but avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 90 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Begin checking for doneness around the 80-minute mark to prevent overbaking.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, decorate as desired or serve plain for a truly rich and indulgent dessert.
